Manufacturing Engineer – NPI
Location: Hereford
Salary: Up to £55,000
Are you a Manufacturing Engineer with experience in prototyping and new product introduction, looking to play a key role in bringing complex, high-power products into full-scale production?
This is a unique opportunity to join an innovative engineering business working on advanced electronic systems, where you'll support both ongoing development and the transition into full NPI and production.
The Role
This is a hybrid Manufacturing Engineer / NPI position, focused on supporting the development and industrialisation of highly complex, high-power electronic products.
You'll work closely with engineering and production teams to take evolving designs and turn them into robust, manufacturable products, playing a key role in scaling production capability.
The position offers a clear pathway to develop into a dedicated NPI-focused role within 12–24 months.
Key Responsibilities
Support the transition of products from prototype to production (NPI)
Convert incomplete or evolving designs into manufacturable, production-ready solutions
Work closely with design engineers to refine and improve product performance
Drive improvements around scalability, manufacturability, and efficiency
Support production with technical input, process development, and problem solving
Assist in developing build processes, documentation, and work instructions
Contribute to ongoing product development, including performance and design optimisation
What We're Looking For
Experience as a Manufacturing Engineer within a prototyping or low-volume environment
Strong understanding of NPI processes and product industrialisation
Experience working with complex electronic or electromechanical products
Ability to work with evolving designs and bring structure to development projects
Hands-on, proactive mindset with strong problem-solving ability
Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
Desirable Experience
Experience with high power electronics or amplifiers
Interest or exposure to RF technologies
Background in start-up or fast-paced development environments
Experience supporting scaling of products into production
Why Apply?
Hybrid working offering flexibility between home and site
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge, high-power technologies
Play a key role in developing and scaling new products
Clear progression into a long-term NPI-focused position
Be part of a growing engineering function with strong future potential
